Oh, the Places You'll Go with a Book

Perfect Summer Wedding Books

It’s wedding season! I’m finally at the age where my friends are starting to get married, so I thought it would be the perfect time to put together my favorite wedding reads. Here are some books to get you excited for a wedding this summer (even if it isn’t your own!):

Once and For All is a great book that looks at wedding planning from positive and not-so-positive perspectives. However, it also gives the message that you can always find love again, sometimes in the most unexpected places. This is a fun summer read that also contains depth and a lot of heart.

Save the Date by Tamara Summers

Save the Date is a quick and easy read that’s perfect read if you are planning a beach wedding! The main character has a few crazy sisters getting married and it’s interesting to see how they make their day their own. Plus, there’s a cute romance for the main character!

For younger members of the wedding party…

The Wedding Planner’s Daughter by Coleen Murtagh Paratore

When I was younger, I loved The Wedding Planner’s Daughter series. This book gives a fun behind-the-scenes view of wedding planning for younger readers while also giving a more relatable school story line.

A Patron Saint for Junior Bridesmaids is a great read for younger members of the wedding party! The main characters is funny and relatable and the book portrays family dynamics well.

For fans of a royal wedding…

The Royal Wedding is the perfect for people who want to see happily ever after. Especially for die-hard fans of The Princess Diaries, The Royal Wedding gives us a look of Mia outside of high school and headed towards her happily ever after. This is a great book if you always wanted to be the secret Princess of Genovia.

My Lady Jane is perfect is you want to read a book outside of the contemporary realm. Fans of The Princess Bride will enjoy this humorous read full of altered history, romance, and a guy who turns into a horse.
